Broadcom processor used in this by Lava might have lower Antutu scores than even Dual Core of Moto E, but usage will be shown thru checking the optimization of the Software by Lava..again can not decide before your review Mr. Rana. Really i think the optimization seen in MotoE – is matchless.

Yeah.. these companies conveniently ignore some basic features like LED notification. Moto E offers it for 7K. It may look like non-essential, but in long run it does matter.

Imagine checking your phone every now and then for missed call/message alerts by pressing the power button (unless of course you jump on phone every alert sound). Recently had to replace that sunk power button from my own pocket! 🙁

This phone looks like a stunner, just like iris pro. Its of that its on broadcom. Lets see what the review comes out. However spec wise it is a lot better than Moto E. Gogiji, what is the difference in broadcom and mediatek chipsets? The overall aura of the phone is really great.

Why man ?? Broad com also good ..in addition it is well built than unite 2 …also it has 8mp camera and free intelligent flip cover IPS dogs display …don’t know what you are expet in that price point ??
